Too early to draw conclusions. Man City has struggled against smaller teams before, they are not that invincible. They had a good day and took it.

By mid December the pic will be clearer.

The worst thing in my opinion about yesterday's humiliating loss is that Moyes actually had the audacity to say that he still feels we were deliberately given tough early fixtures by the FA...

On the evidence of the first 5 games...this league looks like it will be very tight at the top.

@smano hard to have a smile from where i am seated for obvious reasons but it did make interesting viewing, so here are my review points.

Sometime last week i said Leverkusen made United look good and more so their defense/goalie however United calvary were having non of it i could not help but wonder why the obvious was being neglected guess its goggles as they say.

Pellegrini is a 'thinker' the mould of Mourinho, Martinez, Wenger and the likes and Moyes cannot hold a candle on him, i liked it when the press were proding him as to whether he is ready for the biggest derby of his life and he replied he managed the biggest derby of all time between River plate and Boca juniors #knockout and its this is when i realised United will have it rough (just by the calm nature he gave that reply)

So what went wrong - "You can buy class A eggs or B eggs however Class A eggs make better ommlettes" said one Jose and Fellaini, Smalling, Young, Rio, Cleverly, Carrick are no class A eggs.
The intricate/fast pace of the game made it impossible for united and more so City have the players suited for this kind of game. It was amazing how the "new signing" was bullied by Vincent and the mark of a good player is not to get frustrated and Rooney became increasingly agitated and with that their most creative spark was neutralised and we all know Van persie is worse and he would not have made a difference.

Moyes is no man for the big occassion his inability to change the game when it mattered most cost him dearly - we all could see United were being overun in midfield but well Moyes knows best and what was a bad situation at half time became unrecoverable soon after and its after 4 goals that City allowed United to play. Why he dint play Nani, Kagawa is beyond me but hey i obviously dont know much aboput football as him.

So will united win the league well ofcourse not and i will bwe surprised if they go beyond the quarters in CL and the constation effect of that is the Fabregas et al will think twice of coming to United guess they just have to do with the class B/C eggs for sometime. Ask Liverpool..

the gunners are next
